you can see it right there. he's like -- every time he would say one thing, he'd be like, well, romney wants to -- wants $5 trillion in tax cuts mostly for the wealthy, and romney is like, no, i don't, and obama is like okay, i guess you don't. maybe stick a little bit with your argument, and then my last big tip for him, the part of the debate you're allowed to prepare in advance, the closing statement, actually have one ready because it was a very uninspiring closing statement. i believe he actually said four years ago we took over during a major crisis, but my faith and confidence in the american future is undiminished. it's undiminished. you're speaking like in the negative. you're also saying i'm also not fully exhausted yet. i have a little bit left in the tank. >> all right, ben. >> hopefully i can get us there, no promises. >> you have been very critical of the president and a bunch of people in this, so i am going to criticize you now. are y can you fix your tie? >> i was trying to be a little casual. >

what is the right tone? when we saw him before when he was running for the nominee, he could be aggressive. when he said to rick perry, oh, i bet you $10,000. not going to go over as well in the presidential debates, lz, right? >> absolutely not. the thing is mitt romney seemed to function well when he felt he was coming from behind. if there's anything to give him hope, someone else has the momentum. he has to take the momentum. he seems much better as a front-runner. if he has any hope thinking the expectations are extremely low for him. if he's able to take that and attack president obama -- let's face it, the president is extremely full verbal. the only reason romney hasn't been winning is he's been an absolute idiot the last two to three weeks. if he can correct that, maybe he can -- >> we like to use the word missteps. president obama is vulnerable. he's been called a wonderful orator, that he mesmerizes audiences when he speaks. where does romney have to strike h him? >> i think romney has to do what
